There steel but not stock.I would like to put alittle higher bars for my wife but the cables and brake line are not long enough.

Katana throttle cable is longer and first gen GSXR is longer.Longer brake lines can be had here.Just send a note letting George know how much length to add along with your old factory hose. http://katriders.com/vb/showthread.php?t=92494

Thanks for posting up on the tires.I'm looking to run something similar on my Lite Tourer project.

120/70 TKC front
140/80 K60 rear
Both went back on the bike with NO rubbing issues!!.

interesting. someday (when it'll be necessary) i want to run the tkc's on my sv650, and i also think i'll have to raise the front fender. your before and after pics don't really look like the knobby took up much more room.

Very cool build! One thing I see is the quick release pins on the bags are pretty exposed and potentially inviting to shady characters. A quick way to help keep honest people honest would be to cross drill the pin and use a mini luggage lock on the end instead of the spring hoop. I use them on my soft bags all the time.

I can't really see any difference from stock tire to the TKC!!.I can still fit my fingers between the fender and the tire just like stock.
